That's a nice way of putting it, but it doesn't sound like any riders will be coming across to Garmin, just Cervelo's sponsorship bucks (er, Euros, or Loonies, or whatever.) Sastre's been gone a while, Thor's comparing a couple offers, and everyone else is running around looking for work (Ben King had no comment). Some days an office job looks pretty good.

Cervelo have been running the racing ops through a Swiss based company so either Euros or Swiss Francs, I guess.
